My biggest limiting factor, right now -- despite not even currently LIVING in Florida -- is capital.

He seems to be the biggest thing going here.

My two biggest issues seem to be information overload and also nailing down the exact marketing strategies that will work in my area.

Indeed, Nick has fallen victim to the biggest misconception in real estate: A mortgage is not a loan against the house; it’s a loan against your income.

They're two of the biggest.

I might offer to pay for the paint, but that's about it.I have also used this as an incentive when marketing a difficult property- offering a "decorating" allowance to approved applicants for a "custom home".

Doing the actual work (on schedule/budget) shouldn't be a problem, since I'm a contractor - and I have a lot of resources in that area.My biggest concern is the re-sale.

If anything goes wrong, YOU'RE A VICTIM.Live in a hurricane prone area without insurance and a hurricane destroys your house - YOU'RE A VICTIM.Too lazy to work and have no place to live - YOU'RE A VICTIM.A homeowner borrows 125% of their home value in the biggest real estate bubble in history with a gimmick loan and then can't repay the loan when the rate resets - ANOTHER VICTIM!

Borrowed money is an excellent tool for leverage and gives me an incentive to work harder to succeed.
